Fat Bastardo's Op Ed:
This was all caught on audio and video and here is how it went down.
“Congressman Michael Grimm does not want to talk about some of the allegations concerning his campaign finances ... but as you saw he refused to talk about that,” Scotto said as Grimm began to walk away.
Hearing Scotto’s comment, Grimm turned and walked toward the NY1 reporter Hearing Scotto’s comment, Grimm turned and walked toward the NY1 reporter "Let me be clear to you, you ever do that to me again I'll throw you off this fucking balcony."
Scotto: “Why, why, I just wanted to ask you?”
Grimm: “If you ever do that to me again,”
Scotto replied, “why, why it’s a valid question,” Grimm said: “No, no, you're not man enough, you're not man enough. I'll break you in half. Like a boy,”

They don't call members of the GOP Rethuglicans for nothing. This Rethuglican punk threatened a New York Italian. That's just stupid. While the NY mob may have lost some clout there are still enough wise guys left to put this guy's balls in spaghetti sauce.
This sort of behavior is typical of today's Republicans. This is also a result of zero tolerance in schools. Clearly Michael Grimm has always been a punk, a bitch and a bully but had he gotten a few beat downs when he was in school perhaps he would be a bit more civilized and ethical today. For now all we can hope is that he ends up sleeping with the fishes in NY harbor compliments of some guys named Vito and Carlo.
Republican are overly fond of young boys and in seems that Scotto's boyish looks put Grimm into Republican bugger mode.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in New York intends on filing criminal charges against Rep. Michael Grimm, R-N.Y., an attorney for the congressman confirmed to CBS News.
Grimm has been under investigation for more than two years for alleged campaign finance violations.
Grimm, a conservative whose district includes parts of Staten Island and Brooklyn, made headlines after this year's State of the Union when he threatened a reporter who asked him about the campaign finance allegations.
The FBI has been investigating Grimm's relationship with his ex-business partner Ofer Biton, who pleaded guilty to visa fraud last year. In January, the FBI arrested Grimm's ex-girlfriend Diana Durand on charges that she used straw donors to make illegal campaign contributions to Grimm.
